Development Consulting
Guidance Corporate Realty Advisors can negotiate a Build-to-Suit transaction so that your business is able to design and build its own office, flex, R&D, or industrial building that can be owned or occupied under a long-term Lease.
The Build-to-Suit facility can be specifically tailored to meet a business’s current and future requirements in terms of location, size, design, interior build-out, parking requirements, expansion potential and any special requirements.
Requirements
In order to consider a Build-to-Suit Lease, a company will need strong credit and typically be willing make a minimum ten year Lease-term commitment. Depending upon the building location and design, an even longer Lease term may be required, but this will often reduce the annual rental rates.
When considering a Build-to-Own project, a company must have strong credit (to secure financing) and, in most cases, be able to provide 25% of the total project costs (including architectural, engineering, construction, permits & fees) as a down payment. In some cases, Small Business Association (SBA) funding sources may allow a down payment of as little as 10% of the total project costs for a new facility that will be occupied at least 51% by the owner’s business.
Solution
Guidance Corporate Realty Advisors can work with you to evaluate the various pros and cons, and compare the costs and benefits of ownership versus those of leasing. You may engage us to manage the entire process including office space site selection, architect selection, Denver building design, developer and/or general contractor selection, financing assistance, and building project management, or select from a menu of these services.

The Paradigm Health Club

We were initially engaged by the principals of The Paradigm Health Club to help them locate and lease a facility for their planned athletic club to be located in Louisville, Colorado. The facility requirements were challenging: a special-use building with large amounts of parking, high ceilings, heavy HVAC and specialized interior build-out, and the potential club location was critical because visibility and accessibility were key issues
